🎟️ What Are Riding Passes?
Riding Passes are prepaid bundles of minutes that let you use Beryl bikes and e-bikes in Brighton at a discounted rate compared to Pay As You Ride pricing. Once you buy a pass, the minutes are added to your account and available to use immediately.
🎫 Available Riding Passes
Pass Type | Expiry | Included Minutes | Cost | Unlock Fee | Cost per Minute | Journey Limit |
Weekend Pass | 72 hours Fri - Sun | 200 | £20 | £0 pedal £1 e-Bikes | 10p | No cap |
Tip: The Day Pass is ideal for longer trips or one-off days out. The Flexi Pass works best for frequent short journeys, such as commuting or running errands.
🕒 When Does My Pass Start?
Your pass activates at the moment of purchase. Depending on the pass, it will remain valid for either 24 hours or 30 days. To get the most out of your pass, we recommend buying it when you're ready to start riding.
⏱️ How Long Can I Ride?
Weekend Pass: You can use up to 200 minutes in total from Friday - Sunday. You can ride for longer, but extra time will be charged at the standard Pay As You Ride rate of 8p for Beryl bikes or 18p per minute for e-Bikes.
🔋 What Happens If my pass expires?
If your pass expires:
Your pass will no longer be active.
You can buy a new pass at any time.
If you don't buy a new pass, your trips will be charged at the Pay As You Ride rate of £1 unlock plus 8p for Beryl bikes or 18p per minute for e-Bikes.
⏸️ Pausing Your Journey
Need to make a quick stop during your ride? You can pause your journey up to 15 minutes at a time in the Beryl app to keep the vehicle reserved while you step away. However, it’s important to note that pausing still uses your minutes.
Time spent paused continues to count towards your included minutes.
Pass Type | Paused Time Usage |
Minute Bundle | Each minute paused will deduct from your remaining minute balance. |
Day Pass | Paused minutes are counted the same as active ride minutes. |
